Overview'It is only when you meet someone of a different culture from yourself that you begin to realize what your own beliefs really are.' The Road to Wigan Pier is George Orwell's 1937 study of poverty and working-class life in northern England. It is the book which established Orwell as among Britain's foremost political and social commentators. It is, moreover, essential for any reader who wishes to gain a deeper understanding of Orwell's life, work and legacy. This non-fiction work set the tone for Orwell's subsequent career, by focusing on class relations within Britain and political solutions to social problems. The Road to Wigan Pier has remained widely read since his death, running to several editions, and providing a point of comparison for later social and political commentaries Full Product DetailsAuthor: George Orwell , Selina Todd (Professor of Modern History, University of Oxford)Publisher: Oxford University Press Imprint: Oxford University Press Dimensions: Width: 12.90cm , Height: 19.20cm , Length: 1.40cm Weight: 0.182kg ISBN: 9780198850908ISBN 10: 0198850905 Pages: 240 Publication Date: 07 January 2021 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: To order  Stock availability from the supplier is unknown.
